Hi Pressy,

I am not after aging. Password history is different, with it you can force users to reset their passwords and making sure that they do not use an old password for a specific period of time i.e users cannot use an old password for the last 12 months. I managed to do it for red hat linux by setting the remember field for the pam_unix.so module; however it does not work for solaris.
